First, and also, what’s an interphone?
They meant “intercom”
also disease sounds like “disagio” in Italian…
Ahhh… false friends…. what would we do without them!
The number on the page there is the actual number for enhanced 911 service.
Interphone usually means Voice over IP (VOIP). The switching, voice compression, and options are all done with software sharing of the internet connection instead of dedicated phone lines and a phone gateway to connect to conventional phones. (think SKYPE or cable tv phone service with a local server.) An intercom could not dial an outside line. Power. internet, or software configuration loss can cause the entire system to fail.
There were plenty of intercom phones with one or more outside lines when I worked in offices. I expect some of these still exist.
hmm… they had a good run there! at least you understand what they’re trying to say…
and what is that?
You mean, you can catch it from the interphones (I’m assuming that’s the phone lines that the interwebs travels through)? Damn, I knew I should’ve updated my antivirus software earlier. And I’ve always been so careful, practising safe surfing.
Your board has handsfree mobile?
It’s gnarly, dude.
The number to call is either lacking digits or has been enhanced, depending on which you choose. Makes you wonder…
Cell phones with international roaming agreements have made life so much simpler.
All that international roaming is how they catch the desease.
I guess a “desease” is when you get a disease that causes you to become deceased.
It’s not pining, it’s passed on. This interphone is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late interphone. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn’t nailed it to the desk, it would be pushing up the daisies. It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-interphone.
It wouldn’t ring if you put 4 million volts though it.
But it has a beautiful color!
It’s stunned.
I got a slug.
(But there’s no coin slot in the interphone.)
Italian phones use gettones.
Pray, does it talk?
Only when it prays.
I hope there’s a regular phone besides the interphone, if not, trying to call 00390677400922 would result in an inevitable fail!
Just why have they stuck the IDD for Spain on the front on the number in the English translation?
Yes! good question why have they stuck the IDD for Italy on the front of the number in Engrish Transration??
Prego?
I not Prego!!
I just a little bit overweight
Well, I am Ragu.
So you still has a PMS?
I NOT HAS A PMS!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello
0039 actually is the international code for Italy.
Spain one is 0034
And I agree, trying do dial that number would not work since they should remove the 0 between 0039 and the rest of the phone number…
Italy is one of the two countries (the other being Russia) where you do dial the leading zero, where it is present, even from outside the country. (And I notice they presume English-speakers to be British/Irish–from a US or Canadian phone, the initial part would be 01139.)
How are you even supposed to call that number??
It’s not the ordinary phone, it’s the internal phone or intercom.
No internal phone! Swallowing phones can cause desease!
You don’t want to know what happens when gastric juices meet a lithium battery.
Oh yes I do!! Is it painful? Oh Doctor, you are the best! I’m going to tell all my friends about you!
Perhaps you don’t need a physician at all. Might I give you the number of Ursula, the Pain Queen?
No, my dentist Orin Scrivello provides almost everything I need., thank you!
Be careful you don’t let on how much you enjoy his procedures! He might fire you as a patient. ["Hurt me! Hurt me!" cries the masochist. "Never!!!" cries the truly cruel sadist.]
Let’s put it this way. A gallon of Cherry Pepto wouldn’t do a thing.
There was an old lady who swallowed a phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.
There was an old lady who swallowed some line,
Eight foot or nine of telephone line,
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.
There was an old lady who swallowed a meter,
A very big eater, to swallow a meter,
She swallowed the meter to test the line
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone to swallow a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.
There was an old lady who swallowed a tech,
What the heck? She swallowed a tech,
She swallowed a tech to read the meter,
(He got quite a fright, his name was Peter)
She swallowed the meter to test the line,
She swallowed the line to connect the phone,
Daft old crone who swallowed a phone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.
There was an old lady who ate a PA,
His name was Ray, and she ate a PA,
She swallowed the PA to pester the tech,
She swallowed the tech to read the meter
(He got quite a fright, his name was Peter)
She swallowed the meter to test the line
She swallowed the line to connect the phone
Daft old crone to swallow a crone,
Perhaps she’ll groan.
There was an old lady who swallowed a boss.
She’s dead, of coss.
It is nice to see that Bell has set the same standards of difficulty for getting repairs internationally.
It’s SUCH an easy number to remember and dial!
I was thinking that too, and picturing some poor sap with serious injury, arterial blood spurting everywhere trying to dial…blood getting all over the buttons, obscuring the numbers…hitting the wrong ones…fading, fading…collapsing to the floor…

The correct translation would be:
“The intercom is temporarily out of order. In case of emergency please call 00390677400922. We are sorry for the inconvenience” (and yes, the 0 after 39 IS necessary when calling from abroad)
The funniest thing though is that that number belongs to the Coliseum Tourist Office! What kind of “emergency” could happen in the Coliseum? Escaping lions? Zombie gladiators?
A bout of volcanic reflux at Pompeii?
PG, can zombie gladiators be handled the same way as zombie sailors?
I suggest showing a remake of “Gladiator” starring Steven Seagal.
Zombie gladiators? Oh, I get it, you’ve seen Russell Crowe’s acting, too.
*interphone flies towards dr handle*
She must have been really good if Russell Crowe is Gladiator.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Stand aside, plebians, I am on official imperial business! *clonkus*
Well that’s easy to remember…0118 999 881 999 119 7253
Hahaha! Love the IT Crowd reference! Win!
lol, fail emergency phone number length
Ahha.. Lol..
However.. I think that the author means the Intercom. Probably it was broken…so for the emergency you need to call that numer.
0039 is the code for Italy.. If you use an Italian Telephone you don’t need to digit this. For example I want to call someone in USA I need to start the number with 001. 06 is the code for Rome..
Oh yeah, you should be REALLY sorry for that damn …desease!
A**holes.
My god. I’m half Italian (from the NORTH) half Austrian and I’m feeling quite disgusted when I see things like that.
that’s ok it’s funny but italians are a bunch of ignorants masking their ignorance with bigger and bigger errors. Especially in english where they seem to found their knowledge uniquely on sound similarities more than making a little effort, searching the little right word!
When someone asks me, are you Italian? Rome? Naples? I answer: No i’m not i’m LUMBARD (from Lombardia –northern region the only one who seems to work.)
